Align the drop cap at the bottom of the paragraph

I'm designing a model in InDesign and our chapter start may include a certain number. That is to say. "1 it's header. Sometimes the header will be 2 lines and sometimes the other.

I want the number to be BIG and you want to, my text base line up to be a line or 2.

The drop cap function or create a character style that makes this large number causes still my text align to the TOP of the number.

Any ideas?

Here's another thought.

Use a nested style to get your large enough number, then put on your text between a larger and a smaller one for the number text box for the rest of the cuff.

It is always a single line, but by setting both of your text boxes to align to the bottom, you can get the alignment you need.

  • How do underline you a drop cap so that the text following around her wrapping?

    I found a PDF Online where the designer has used large drop caps on a number of occasions that are highlighted.

    Obviously this is not technically difficult, I can add an underline in the character Panel, but underscore appears above the line of text below.

    In the case of the original example, not only the line of text below appears as underscore on the drop cap, the adjacent text to the right of the drop cap is perfectly aligned with the bottom of the letter drop IMP and the underscore, as if everything is settled on the baseline. How is - this made both acurately?

    I have a paragraph with a nested character style style. The paragraph style specifies the point of using a drop cap with 4 lines. The nested character style tells the paragraph to the first three words in a special font and some red CMYK color. But I can't understand how to tell the style also put the drop cap in the same color. Help!

    Thank you.

    the character of the dropcap style there red color value itself?

    PARK style of paragraph for a moment, go to the style of CHARACTERS assigned to the dropcap letter and look at the options. Look at the color of the text and see if it is red or not.

  • Drop cap in the first paragraph only...

    Hi all

    I found what looks like the solution to this, but it does not work (making it not a solution).

    in any case, I've created two paragraph styles ('First paragraph Style' and 'Paragraph Style'). "First paragraph Style" I put the drop cap, and I put "Next Style" (under 'general') 'Paragraph Style' (who has not a setting of the drop cap, or rather the settings by default ie. 0 rows, etc.).

    The catch: I apply the paragraph Style first to my text and... all paragraphs will have a drop cap, as defined in the first paragraph Style. Major sadness!

    Any ideas?

    Thank you very much!

    -steve

    You must right click on the first paragraph Style and then choose apply "paragraph Style" then next Style.

  • How can I get my index generated to properly align the bottom margin?

    I did the index before and had no problems.  This time, it will not go to the bottom margin or will go underneath.  The page numbers for the last topic in the back (with 2 or 3 empty lines above the bottom margin) appear at the top of the next column.

    I still don't know what was wrong.  I played a little of the paragraph palette and the index works properly!   Thank you very much for your help!

  • align the cells with shared values

    3.6.1 the numbers

    I would like to compare two columns and align the cells, if they are equal. Ideally, I would like to include the adjacent cells in the second column in the alignment.

    Example:

    Run the formula (if possible) to format the following text:

    As follows:

    Hi cnickflight,

    Easy to do by transferring the data to another table.

    Table 1 contains the original data. I reduced the names of fruits to three letter codes to reduce type them, but this does not change the process.

    Column A of table 2 contains a formula that copies the existing data in column A of table 1 and insert null strings when there is no data in the table 1.

    The formula is entered in cell A2 and filled down.

    Table 2::A2: = IF (ROW () −1 > COUNTA (table 1::A),"', SHIFT (table 1::$A$1,ROW()−1,0))))

    Fill until the end of the column.

    Columns B and C contain a VLOOKUP formula. The formula is the same in the two columns, with the exception of the number indicating which column of the table, the returned value must come. The version of 'testing' of the formula in B2 is shown. When filled to the bottom, this formula should copy the names of fruits where they are both on the table 1, in the line that they appear in column A, and display a triangle of error in the lines where there is no name in column B to the one in the column (and in the rows where column A is empty). The error message for each of them should be "VLOOKUP couldn't find the requested value."

    Table 2::B2 (trial version): = VLOOKUP ($A, table 1: $b$ C, 1, FALSE)

    (FALSE appears in the formula as 'exact match' editor)

    If the behavior is as described, add IFERROR before VLOOKUP, and , "") after the closing parenthesis to match the 'final version'. " (See "why two versions? below.)

    2::B2 (final version) of the table: SIERREUR = (VLOOKUP ($A, table 1: $b$ C,1, FALSE),' ')

    2::C2 (final version) of the table: SIERREUR = (VLOOKUP ($A, table 1: $b$ C,2, FALSE),' ')

    Fill both until the end of their respective columns. Results should now be as shown above.

    Note: Why two versions?

    Function SIERREUR is ideal for use as a trap for the error, but it acts on all errors, not only the one you plan to trap. Best practice is to add to this trap only if you are sure that the formula generates other error messages that awaits you and using in this case we know VLOOKUP, who has been charged with finding an "exact match" will throw an error when it does. Function SIERREUR catches this error and puts a string anywhere in the cell, making it appear empty.

  • Align the two signals and measure the Phase Shift

    Hello

    I do an experiment in which I use the NI USB-6221 DAQ card. The jury is able to make 250 k samples/second. I want to measure two voltages in a circuit and find the phase shift between them at frequencies between 1 and 10000. First I ouputted a wave sinusoidal frequency variable through the Commission and applied to a test circuit. Then I used the Board to measure the two tensions consecutively (thus reducing the maximum sampling frequency at 125 k). I used the signals align VI and measured the two phases and then calculates the phase shift (VI attached in Phase 1). It worked well for the test circuit I built in which the phase shift went way logarithmique.20 degrees ~84.5 degrees and then stabilized. At frequencies above 5 000 Hz phase shift must have remained constant, but it varies more or less 1 degree. When the phase shift is 84.5 degrees, present a degree of variability is not particularly explicit. When I asked my program on the circuit that I really wanted to measure, the phase shift went from-. 5 degrees up to about 1.2 degrees. The change in the values of phase shift at high frequencies (> 3000) was environ.2 degrees. Given the small phase shift, this variation is unacceptable. Now I tried to use a sequence to each blood individually (increase the maximum sampling frequency to 250 k) and then align the two signals and measure the phase of each shift. When I use align it and re - sample Express VI to realign the two signals, I get the message "error 20333 analysis: cannot align two waveforms with dt even if their samples are not clocked in phase." Is it possible to align two signals I describe here? I enclose the new VI as Phase 2

    Matthew,

    I think I have an idea for at least part of the problem.

    I took your program data and deleted stuff DAQ.  I have converted the Signal on the chart control and looked then what was going on with the signal analysis.

    The output of the Waveforms.vi line has two waveforms, like the entry.  However, arrays of Y in the two waveforms are empty!  It does not generate an error. After some head scratching, reading the help files and try things out, that's what I think is happening: the time t0 two input signals are 1,031 seconds apart. Since the wavefoms contains 1,000 seconds of data, there is no overlap and may not align them.

    I changed the t0 on two waveforms are the same, and it lines up.  The number of items in the tables is reduced by one. Then I increased the t0 of 0.1 seconds on the first element. The output had both greater than the entry by dt t0 t0 and the size of the arrays was 224998.  Reversing the t0 two elements shifts the phase in the opposite direction.

    What that tells me, is that you can not reliably align two waveforms which do not overlap.

    I suggest that you go to 2-channel data acquisition and that it accept the reduced sample rate.  You won't get the resolution you want, but you should be able to tell if something important happens.

    You may be able to improve the equivalent resolution by taking multiple steps with a slight phase shift. This is similar to the way that old oscilloscopes of sampling (analog) worked. Take a series of measures with the signal you are currently using.  The make enough average to minimize changes due to noise. Then pass the phase of the signal of excitement to an amount that is smaller than the resolution of phase of sampling rate and repeat the measurements.  Recall that I calculated that for a 5 kHz signal sampled at 125kHz, you get a sample every 14.4 degrees. If shift you the phase of 1 degree (to the point/mathematical simulation), you get a different set of samples for excitement.  They are always separated by 14.4 degrees.  Take another series of measures. Transfer phase another degree and repeat.  As long as your sampling clocks are stable enough so that frequency does not drift significantly (and it shouldn't with your equipment), you should be able to get near resolution of what you need.  The trade-off is that you need to perform more measurements and may need to keep track of the phase shifts between the various measures.

  • Aligning the print cartridge HP PSC 1500 series printer

    I just installed a new ink cartridge and try to align. When I open the HP PSC 1500 Setup page, it gives me the option "align cartridge". When I click on it it opens a dialog box titled 'printer properties '. There is no information on how to align the cartridge.

    Thanks for your reply. It didn't really solve my problem. As I've mentioned before, I tried to get the 'how' info from the HP PSC 1500 series control page that displays a link to "aligning the print cartridge. By clicking on this link opens a dialog box that has nothing to do with the alignment of the cartridges. It was not very useful, but eventually, I remembered what I had to do was insert the alignment sheet and press "scan."

  • Align the PSC 750 printer ink cartridge error message.

    I just replaced only the black cartridge in my printer PSC 750.  (Will replace the color cartridge later as my money allows.) The printer is connected to my laptop, MacBookPro, under OS X, version 10.6 operating system.  After replacing the cartridge, I ran a self-evaluation report.  It seemed to run correctly.  No color cartridge only test model because there is no ink in the cartridge.  Then I ran the process to align the print cartridge which gives an error on the printer.  It displays "error: Align page not detected" when I clearly placed the page alignment on the scanner glass.  Tried this process several times and each time I get this error message.

    Could it happen because I have not yet replaced the color cartridge?  If not, then what?

    Alignment requires the black and cyan (or was it yellow on this model?) part of the color cartridge to print for correct alignment.  If you have an old copy of the alignment page you can use it, although the alignment would be suboptimal.

    Soak the printhead of the cartridge 78 in 1 "hot water for ten minutes and then gently the printhead from drying and put it back in the printer may allow enough ink complete the alignment page.
